What assurance have we of their allegiance to the Stars and Stripes in the time of conflict with possibly the land of their birth? The administration speaks of “preparedness,” but it does not stop to con sider that in order to be really prepared the unfailing faith, devotion and aI-> legiancc of each man of eligible age is essential. It does not stop to consider that Negro applicants to the army or navy are turned down with the under standing that this is a w'hile man’s country, and that the burden of its pro tection rests with him. They lose sight of the 12 millions of black folks who, were conditions favorable, would make a valuable asset in the event of war. History tells us that in each of the wars in which this country has been en gaged from its earliest struggles down to the Spanish-American, the Negro has played an important part in many of the decisive engagements. Of this fact the Negro is justly proud, but he has not forgotten the treatment ac corded him during the Spanish-American encounter, and especially at San Juan Hill. The memory of this affair is too fresh to he blotted out in an in stant and forgotten. The National Guard is the logical source of supply in the event of a con flict, but here, as in all other departments of the Army and Navy, the Negro has no entre, save as a menial. Efforts have been made to establish Negro regiments of the National Guard in some states, without result, and yet in case of war he will be expected to shoulder the musket and fare forth to shed the last drop of his blood in the protection of the land which gave him birth. Well may the question of preparedness be discussed from every possible angle, and well may every effort looking toward the perpetuation of peace be advanced, for the question is one more serious than appears on the surface. It is one which to be effective must he composed of every atom of manhood and consist of positive assurance that to the last drop the blood of this man hood will be spent in defense of and honor for this land which is said to be “The land of the Free and the home of the Brave.” p The condition is apparent to any one who will take the time for observa tion and analysis. What will be the answer? SOUTH SIDE. (Mrs. Lulu Thornton, Correspondent) The Monitor is on sale at R. L. Woodard’s barber shop, 4831 South 26th street. South Side. The revival services which have been in progress for a fortnight at the Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church, will close Thursday, March 16. Rev. W. B. Nichols, who has had the meet ing in charge, says he is very much encouraged over the meeting. We feel that he has benefited the church very much along the spiritual line, as well as bringing into the fold thus far seventeen souls. Rev. W. B. Nichols will leave Thursday night for his home in Joplin, Mo. Mrs. S. Embree of 4832 South 26th street, was called home Wednesday evening on account of the severe ill ness of her mother who lives in Hutch inson, Kansas.
